Meet Buzz Legal.

No. Buzz Legal is a sister brand — same wider Buzz family, but a separate business with its own subscriptions, fixed fees, engagement terms and booking. Buzz Accounting clients reach the same practical front end through our legal services page. The reason the two are kept separate rather than bundled is that legal work has its own regulatory boundaries, and mixing the engagements would blur which protections apply to which piece of work — which is exactly the thing you need to be clear about if something goes wrong.

No — it is a non-reserved legal service, not an SRA-regulated law firm, and the practical consequences are worth understanding rather than glossing over. Reserved legal activities, which include conducting litigation, rights of audience, most probate and property conveyancing, can only be done by an SRA-regulated firm, and those go to RHF Solicitors. It also means the SRA compensation fund and the Legal Ombudsman apply to that regulated work rather than to the non-reserved work. Ask which side any particular job sits on before it starts.

Two ways. Fixed fees for defined jobs, with the common ones published — Contract Review from £249, Terms and Conditions from £695, Employment Starter Pack from £895, Shareholder Agreement from £1,250 and HR Policies and Staff Handbook from £1,495. Or a monthly subscription for businesses that want support on tap rather than job by job, with the current plans and what each includes set out above. Pay-as-you-go advice is available where neither fits. What there is not is hourly billing, which is the thing that stops most owners ringing until it is already expensive.

Reserved legal activity, which is handled through RHF Solicitors: court proceedings, advocacy, probate and conveyancing. Also outside scope are matters needing specialist regulated expertise — immigration, criminal, regulatory defence and anything requiring a solicitor qualified in a different jurisdiction. Buzz Legal is built for the recurring day-to-day issues in a growing business: contracts, terms, employment documents, policies, founder paperwork, debt recovery correspondence and dispute preparation. If your issue is already in front of a court, you need the regulated route from the outset rather than after a first attempt.

No. Buzz Legal takes on clients independently and plenty have never used the accountancy practice. The advantage where you are also a client is context: the person drafting a shareholders' agreement or a director's service agreement already knows the share structure, what the company earns and how profit is extracted, which is exactly the information that makes those documents right rather than generic. If you would rather keep the relationships separate, that is fine, changes nothing about the service, and is a preference plenty of people hold deliberately.

Ask before assuming. England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are separate legal jurisdictions with different contract precedent, employment procedure and court systems, so a document drafted for one is not automatically fit for another. The risk is subtle: it reads correctly and fails when tested. If your business is based outside England and Wales, or you employ people there, raise it at the first conversation so the work is either drafted for the right jurisdiction or referred to a firm qualified in it.
